USB Host PDA'S

[linda]

We are looking for currently available PDA's that have host capacity to accept a keyboard. We have to shows and although we are launching our Bluetooth Keyboards, we are most interested in demonstrating our USB keyboard. We understand that the Toshiba has one, any one know, and if not Toshiba, any other PDA? [email protected] www.frogpad.com

The Mio 558 also has a USB host, but you'll need a mini-A adapter.

Yes, the Toshiba e800 / e805 has USB host capabilities. Toshiba sells a $19 USB adapter \ cable accessory for this. See their site (http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/pc/pc_prodDetail.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@2046406374.1078498197@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccceadcklhjhhmgcgfkceghdgngdglk.0&comm=ST&plin=PDAs&pfam=PDA%20Accessories&poid=265291&Adoid=493442) for the details.

Let me know if you're looking for any beta testers! :wink:

My Toshiba e550G has USB support, but you have to carry around the cradle, blyech!

As far as I have heard, none of the PPCs with BT accept a keyboard profile. Stupid.

any cf pda can be a usb host. Some company makes a usb cf adapter

I'm not positive, but I think the Mio 558 is also USB host capable.

Casio Cassiopea E-200 has USB host capabilities via an extender and via the cradle.
